| Abstract: | In this work, an open‐tubular capillary liquid‐phase column was prepared by modifying chain polymer on the inner surface of capillary and chemical bonding of metal organic frameworks, NH2‐UiO‐66, to the brushes of chain polymer (poly(glycidyl methacrylate)). Besides advantages of facial preparation and good permeability, the chain polymer effectively increases the modification amount of NH2‐UiO‐66 nanoparticles to increase the phase ratio of open‐tubular capillary column and enhance the interactions with analytes. The results of scanning electron microscope energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectra indicated that NH2‐UiO‐66 nanoparticles were successfully bonded to the chain polymer. Because of the hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bonding interaction between the analytes and the ligand of NH2‐UiO‐66, different analytes were well separated on the NH2‐UiO‐66‐modified poly(glycidyl methacrylate) capillary (1.12 m × 25 μm id × 365 μm od) with the high absolute column efficiency reaching 121 477 plates, benefiting from an open‐tubular column and low mass transfer resistance provided by polymer brush and metal–organic framework crystal. The relative standard deviations of the retention time for run‐to‐run, day‐to‐day, and column‐to‐column (n = 3) runs are below 4.28%, exhibiting good repeatability. Finally, the column was successfully applied to separation of flavonoids in licorice. |
